TruckLogics Will Help You Stay DOT Compliant

As a fleet manager, you’re busy. You have a lot of paperwork and regulations to keep up with for your drivers, especially when it comes to being DOT compliant. Why don’t you take a load off by using TruckLogics to help you save time with a few major parts of the DOT list?

TruckLogics is the number one transportation management solution for owner-operators and fleet managers. It’s specifically designed to simplify running your business with time-saving features for route optimization, IFTA recordkeeping, dispatching, record keeping, maintenance schedules, and more.

How TruckLogics Helps With Staying DOT Compliant

In order to stay DOT compliant then you have to keep up with a seemingly endless amount of different records. For example, you need to keep up-to-date qualification records and performance histories for each of your drivers.

TruckLogics makes this easy, by providing one convenient location for all of your documents. Upload your driver records and documents to access anywhere on any device, and automatically receive renewal notifications for CDL and Medical Cards.

To stay compliant you’re also required to keep up thorough records of any accidents involving one of your company vehicles. Luckily you can quickly and easily upload anything you need into your TruckLogics account.

You’ll also need to create a regular maintenance program for your vehicles and make sure that you stick to it. This is where TruckLogics can really help. Easily schedule maintenance for each truck and receive reminders when your trucks need maintenance. For example, you can set a reminder for oil changes every time your vehicle travels 5,000 miles. Keeping maintenance records is simple, just upload the receipt to the maintenance tasks within your account.

On your vehicle's profiles, you can enter odometer readings, the last time they received maintenance, and more. You can also set up reminders to let you know when your vehicles need maintenance again. Also, you can keep track of your trucks odometer readings by making check calls using the TruckLogics companion app.

Remember, you need to keep up with the hours of service for each of your drivers, but don’t worry, with TruckLogics you and your drivers won't have to deal with the hassle of paper logs. Your drivers can use the TruckLogics app on their smartphone or tablet to keep accurate records of their service.

They can simply add their hours to the TruckLogics app with a few taps of their thumbs. Hours and locations can be added from anywhere, eliminating the need to carry a logbook in the rig. Also, these records can easily be printed and emailed at any time.

Your vehicles must be marked with their respective DOT numbers, so be sure to add their number to their profile in order to avoid any confusion.
